@mckinley@mckinley.cc I came here from a mention from prologic about QR codes (to your twtxt.net account) and I later went to this one :)
@mckinley@twtxt.net Did you post about a tool to generate QR code images like this https://mkws.sh/i/xmrqr.webp? With an embeded logo I mean.
@prologic@twtxt.net Consider making feeds.twtxt.net support pleroma/akkoma instances too.
I don’t think that you can get a rss feed from them, so it might be a
little more work. Sorry, I know it might be difficult so if it’s outside
of the project’s scope it’s not needed but it’d be nice.
(I think it’s completly out of scope so no need really, I don’t know if
I should host another feeds instance for myself as I don’t know if I
should really setup my rss from newsboat to jenny (getting emails
made by jenny in a directory in my home directory)
I fell like I want to do the oposite, have twtxt feeds available as rss.
(I should probably write a script or something that runs jenny (on
cron), and then parses the mail folder for mail, and makes every email
be a entry in the rss feed)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, to my knowledge it ends up at the same place when collected with the commercial wastepaper trucks, too. We get some money from the recycling company for bringing it to them. The price per ton varies with the resource price on the market and when it rains some rate is subtracted to account for higher weight due to the water. Even though it’s quite some work, it’s also a fun activity.
At least over here it’s common that (larger) local clubs participate in these wastepaper collections. I reckon it originated in times where there were no commercial wastepaper trucks and municipalities had to organize something, so they asked their clubs to participate. I can’t really remember, but I think when I was a kid, wastepaper was 100% collected by volunteers. Nowadays we also have the wastepaper recycling trucks for the „Blaue Tonne“ (blue bin). I think in the past we as the scouts had two to three collections a year, now it’s only one.
This time was very bad timing. The blue bins were emptied the same week, so there was only half the material of regular collections. The volunteer run dates are planned by the town hall and apparently not synchronized with the recycling company’s schedule.

It’s good to see at least one US agency taking this stuff seriously.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I presume that’s not what’s happening by default when people throw it away, right? 🤔
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I don’t know anything about him to be honest. What’s so bad about Peter Thiel? 🤔
Peter Thiel is a very bad man. It’s amazing to me that anyone has anything to do with him.
@prologic@twtxt.net seem like spam is a real thing in the fediverse - one more reason to to keep twtxt/yarn sticky pull-based.

@prologic@twtxt.net g’night all 🥱
Morning all 👋 😉
My “one snippet” from today’s IPCC report: “Climate change is a threat to human well-being and planetary health. There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all. The choices and actions implemented in this decade will have impacts now and for thousands of years.”

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Docker is and still is basically a decent packaging tool where you can care a little less about all the bazillion dependencies that software is often packaged with. But to be honest, that has changed a lot for me with Go where you are basically encouraged to write portable programs anyway so you don’t really need Docker – What I still use it for however is basically as infrastructure to run and orchestrate containers – Docker Swarm is still quite a decent way to do this 👌
@prologic@twtxt.net I never got into Docker to begin with and their quasi-corporate structure always put me off, so I’m glad I don’t need to do anything in response to this mess.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci As you know I don’t really trust “cloud” companies anyway, so even if hostile policies were to go ahead it wouldn’t affect what I do one iota
Glaze: Protecting Artists from Style Mimicry
Nice. An artist can run their visual art image through this tool. The tool produces a new version of the image that is almost identical to the human eye, but will prevent unethical, extractive AI like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney from learning the artist’s style, so that their style can’t be stolen and copied. The artist can thus freely post images online without having to worry that some asshole company will co-opt their art style.
They do warn that AI advances quickly and this particular tool will most likely not always be effective. However, I think the effort is commendable, and this tool or some future variant could put enough of a barrier in place that it is no longer cost-effective for lousy AI companies to steal from artists.
@prologic@twtxt.net @marado@twtxt.net I wouldn’t trust docker anymore if you did before and I’d migrate away ASAP. This kind of thing happens constantly: an actually hostile policy meets backlash, company puts out PR for damage control, and then when the fervor dies down they move ahead with the hostile policy.
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Bloody tired 😴 Need a couple days off Ithink 😅
@marado@twtxt.net I saw that but didn’t pay much attention. So just bad marketing? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net in the meantime, docker wrote a clarification.
How are you all doing today?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, interesting. The axis are aligned again. Never thought about that before.
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, everything has a flipside.
@prologic@twtxt.net https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solstice 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s going to be recycled. We brought to the local wastepaper recycling plant.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Huh? 🤔
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org What’s going to happen with that paper now? 🤔
It’s that funny time of the year again when maps look like this. 🥴
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Hmmm where have I seen this before 😅
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah I’m really not sure why Mirantis (the owner of Docker now) is doing this. It is a 100% hostile move on Mirantis part for Docker and the Docker ecosystem. Really quite pathetic to see. I’m just so glad that I myself haven’t bothered to published open source docker images in docker organisations/teams myself. All images I care about are published under my own username prologic/xxx e.g: prologic/yarnd.

Please tell me?
How to create your first post.
Yours faithfully.
yarnd only has to speak Twtxt period)...
@mckinley@twtxt.net I’m not sure it can be. It doesn’t make sense to me to create feeds for some other actor just because.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that sums it up pretty well! No idea, these crocheted hearts just appeared out of nowhere. In January there was only one, however, it’s gone in the meanwhile. Now we saw these four about 100 meters from where the first one was. They’re kinda looking nice. If their goal is to spread some joy they certainly have accomplished their mission.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Frühlingsanfang ist, wenn die Luftfeuchtigkeit nach dem Lüften höher ist als vorher. 😏
Is there a special meaning behind those hearts? Or just something that kids make these days?
yarnd only has to speak Twtxt period)...
@prologic@twtxt.net I have thought briefly about this. I have no idea how this could be done with the current twtxt thread paradigm.
Speaking of Yarn and/or Twtxt + Activity Pub integration… Been thinking… If a decision is made to turn this into a full-fledged Twtxt bridging services between Twtxt <-> Activity Pub (which would make things much more transparent, because then yarnd only has to speak Twtxt period)…
What do we (or can we) do about filling in context. Right now with this crappy half-baked implementation I have going (experimental) for yarnd, I can just go grab the Activity Pub Note that the inReplyTo references and inject that into the cache.
With a separate more transparent Twtxt <-> Activity Pub; what do we do? Even if we created a feed for the actor referenced in the inReplyTo you wouldn’t know to follow them anyway…
Hmmm? 🤔
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club @mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah I don’t really know right now how this is happening, only for incoming Activity Pub notes…
